I bought a really sweet bit of vintage fabric from Viv (hens teeth) at our last Homespun Fair at Easter and forgot that I had it till the other day. I was inspired to do these paintings, 'Going to join the Circus' and "You can teach an Old Penguin new tricks'

I have done another painting of just Penguin and will post that tomorrow.

My Folksy Shop

I have a great love of antique American Folk Art. I am fascinated by the symbolism and simplicity of the work and the overall naive charm they convey. I hope my work is a sort of homage to those far off amateur artists maybe with a little contemporary twist and a bit of humor of my own!

About Me

I am a full time artist living in the wonderful county of Cornwall. I love vintage almost anything: from fabric to toys to china to books. I am constantly influenced by my collective tat that makes my 'nest' around me and just living here among the many galleries and artists is a real delight to me. I hope you enjoy sharing a little bit of my world in the ramblings on this blog, I look forward to your comments and friendship.
